The Europeans seeks to document the changing face of Europe through photographs. Damaso Reyes is the principal photographer of the project. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Damaso began his career as a photojournalist over ten years ago while still a teenager. As a young man of color growing up in one of the worst neighborhoods in America, he was fascinated by the way in which his community was portrayed in the media. As an adult he chose to pursue photojournalism in order to ensure that there was more diversity in the images that are presented to the public. The project is still ongoing. The latest entry of the series, The Lives of Black Folks, is about the experiences of people of African descent in Germany and Poland.
